Back in the early seventies Nimbin became the alternative lifestyle capital of Australia. Many of the original communes are still set up today. In recent times Nimbin has become infamous for it's annual Mardi Grass festival which celebrates marijuana use.

Neil Pike, one of the original hippies to arrived in Nimbin in the 70's. Living in the hills surrounded by lush forest, Neil has a great little home studio from where he produces music and multimedia artwork (Pagan Love Cult). He sites his greatest acheivement as being one of the early activists who helped save the forests around Nimbin from logging. These early actions eventually lead to National Park classification.

I would like to know if we could use small parts of the video for background images in a 50th Anniversary Video that we are doing for a local chapter of Association for Builders and Contractors in the Pennsylvania, USA. Please advise.
